I am praising God for this blessing and rejoicing about this opportunity. Now I have three weeks to prepare for my first day of work. There is lots to be done over this time period in preparation of me being gone for more than eight hours a day. Things I should have probably worked on sooner but now I have the swift quick in the butt I needed, plus motivation that I've needed because I am employed!!!

My husband is still on the job hunt. Now he wil have to turn his focus onto jobs that will work with my schedule. It is my job that has excellent health benefits, the best yet since our days in the military where we didn't ever have to make a co-payment for an appointment or pay for a prescription. We are beyond thrilled with the health benefits we will be getting!

Getting this job also means we can stay right where we are and not have to move. Which totally delights our children. God is good, all the time. Things don't always happen in our time, but they do happen. Prayer and a patient heart, are two things that have gotten me through this time in our lives. My relationship with God has grown. We have received many blessings that have helped us out a lot. And having a well stocked pantry has been vital for my family. Foodstamps doesn't give you enough to feed your family but it does help. Having a well stocked pantry helped tremendously so we would have enough for feeding our family. I am grateful to God for placing on my heart the need to build a large pantry. At the time I didn't know why I needed to do this, just that I needed to and am now so glad I listened. It truly made up the difference for our family.

Psalm 31:1-5

1) In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;let me never be put to shame;deliver me in your righteousness.2) Turn your ear to me,come quickly to my rescue;be my rock of refuge,a strong fortress to save me.3) Since you are my rock and my fortress,for the sake of your name lead andguide me.4) Free me from the trap that is set for me,for you are my refuge.5) Into your hands I commit my spirit;redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth.========================

Lord I thank you for showing us this verse which speaksso deeply to what we are going through at this time inour lives. We praise YOU and take refuge in YOU, dear Lord.
